Re: difficulties accessing website audio.

I had trouble with Kevin's website and also Martyn's website.
Basically I wasn't sure what was meant to happen.  But now I know
that - when you see a picture next to the description of the sound,
you are supposed to also see an audio player bar below the picture.
On a Mac (OS 10.4.1), using Firefox (v3.5.3), I could NOT see this
audio player bar.  And therefore could not access the sounds.

So then I tried two different internet browsers - Opera (v9.64) and
Safari (v3.1.1) and found with both these browsers the audio player
bar appeared below the picture.  So then I could access the sounds
simply by clicking the play button.

I was also able to access Kevin's sounds via iTunes.

A comment on the Loons recording was that it seemed to be encoded at
too low a rate, which meant too many tinkling artifacts.  I'm sure
the original recording is lovely but I found the artifacts unpleasant
and did not want to listen even though I adore loons.

Martyn's heavy breathing bear was alarming when listening through
headphones!

Hope these comments help.
